"When am I like this?"

Said a girl who was in front of the glass of her room.

"Nana, let's go down to breakfast together" a screaming voice came from downstairs.

"Yes ma for a moment", he replied.

"Huhh Nana's spirit, you can definitely get through all this" said the girl cheering herself on.

"Mom's morning", greet the girl when she arrives at the dinner table.

"By my dear, how long does the tumben fall?", asked the mother.

"Hehe yes ma", replied the girl while scratching her non-itchy nape.

The breakfast atmosphere was so quiet that the voice of the mother broke the silence. "Honey later mama came home late, later if you sleepy do not have to wait for mama to come home yes" said the mother.

"Yes ma", Nana replied with a smile.

"This is your pocket money", while putting money on the dining table.

"Yes, do not forget later if the door is locked first" explained the mother while taking her briefcase.

"Yes ma, be careful" replied Nana.

...****************...

"Huhhh the spirit of Nana, there is still tomorrow for you to pass" said Nana when she arrived in front of the terrace of her house.

"Let's Aja you are also the spirit, we must be equally excited" he told his favorite bicycle.

"Lifted up", he shouted as he raised his left fist upwards.

Approximately ten to fifteen minutes of time it takes Nana to get to school.

"For Mamat" he said as he passed through the school gate.

"For neng", replied Mr. Mamat the school gatekeeper.

Arriving at the parking lot he immediately parked his bike and rushed to go to his classroom.

Nana was in front of her classroom.

"Na's spirit", he said encouraging himself.

Just a few steps Nana entered the classroom, there was the sound of someone making her stop her footsteps.

"The cupu has come here guys, give a welcome dong" said a girl who looks to be the leader of his gang.

"Hello cupu", greet the two followers with a smirk smile on the face of both.

Nana who was called like that just remained silent with her head down.

"Eh songong yes ni son, has been called unanswered again" said the girl who became the head of the gang while pushing Nana's shoulder.

Nana who got such treatment could only be silent and feel fear.

"I am.", replied Nana stammering.

The entire classmate who witnessed it just kept silent without any intention to help Nana.

"Well that's dong, called tuh answered not just quietly" he said as he stepped out of class.

"The spirit of Nana" he said in his heart.

After the departure of the man and his followers, Nana began to move her legs back to her table.

...****************...

"Eh guys didn't see the face of the cupu, hahahah" said Gracia, the gang leader who likes to bully Nana.

"Hahahaha not very Grac", said Kristal.

"i did", Laura said mimicking Nana's words in fear.

'Tet tet tet'

The sound of the bell coming in sounded very loud.

The condition of Nana's classroom was still crowded even though the bell was heard. About ten minutes passed but the teacher who taught the class did not come.

Until the sound of footsteps approached the classroom door, the children who were originally crowded talking to each other began to silence.

''Sttsss is coming, everyone is silent" said one of the children sitting near the classroom door.

'tok tok tok'

The sound of knocking on the door.

"For the students, sorry I was late to the class because there was a need for a while', explained the teacher after entering the classroom.

''Let's start learning today" the teacher said after putting some books on his desk.

The students began to take out their own textbooks. When they were busy pulling out books, there was a whisper from the back row.

''Sttss, heh cupu herein your book" said Gracia.

Nana who heard the call looked at the source of the voice.

''But'', Nana has not been able to continue her sentence, her book has been taken by Gracia.

''Ck, lama lo'', said Gracia afterwards.

Nana who got such treatment did not reply to him, she just exhaled in anger.

''What if the teacher knows'', Nana muttered uneasily.

''Before the mother starts learning today, as usual who does not carry a package book she must follow the learning of the mother in front of the class while standing up. Does anyone not bring a package book?'', he asked while looking at the rest of the class.

Nana who heard that with a little hesitation began to raise her right hand, because she was a diligent and exemplary student, including, in fact, he always did all the PR from the father of the teacher's mother without ever forgetting a single time. The teacher who saw Nana raise her hand immediately asked Nana why she did not bring her book.

''Nana, why don't you bring the package book?', the teacher asked.

Nana looked towards Gracia slowly then lowered her head.

''Sorry my book missed'', said Nana.

''Alright this time you join with another friend'', said the teacher.

''Bu ya can't do that dong, other students are usually told to go forward kok the cupu no, that's not fair name. Aren't you guys?'' said Gracia.

''Yes bu the time of mother favoritism sih'', added Kristal.

''Yes mom, you can't choose love dong'', said Laura.

''Yes ma''', shouted the whole class.

''Baik ibu paham, Nana kamu maju ke depan sekarang sesuai peraturan yang telah ibu buat sebelumnya'', terang sang guru.

''Well ma'am', replied Nana.

''Well children open book page 59, this time we will discuss about the Matrix'', he said then wrote on the board.

Nana tidied up her equipment to take her forward, when Nana walked right next to Gracia's bench, Gracia deliberately stuck out her leg to hit Nana's leg while walking. Nana also fell.

''Oh, ''', Nana when her knees hit the floor.

''Makanya cupu if the road is careful not to fall right'', said Gracia when she saw Nana fall.

Gracia and her friends laughed at that. Nana ignored them and walked forward again.

...****************...

''Finally arrived at home'', Nana muttered when she was at her doorstep.

''Assalamualaikum, Nana came home'', Nana shouted as she entered her house.

''Uhhh is tired of my body, eat first what shower first huh?'', he asked himself.

''Take a shower to eat, ''', he said.

After entering his bedroom, he immediately put his bag on his study table and went to his bathroom.

After finishing the bath he decided to go downstairs to prepare food.

''Emm cook what?'', he said while thinking for a moment.

''Kale oseng-oseng cooking with chicken sauce sweet aja deh'', break it after making a choice.

Nana is so focused on cooking that she forgets that time has shown at seven in the evening.

After finishing cooking he only realized that he finished cooking right with the clock usually his mother came home.

''It's seven o'clock, mama's back home. Fortunately I finished cooking it'', he said, wiping the sweat on his temple.

He immediately arranged the dishes at the dining table and sat down in one of his chairs.

''How come you haven't arrived yet?'', he murmured.

''Wait another ten minutes'''.

Ten minutes had passed but Nana's mother did not come home. And Nana just remembered that her mother had told her she was going home late.

''Well not this morning mama said yes if today want to go home late'', he said while patting his own forehead.

''Judah I ate alone'', he murmured.

Finished eating Nana immediately washed her dishes and rushed into her bedroom.
